Not a good look for our British families

The Beckhams’ once-flawless brand and PR machine have finally taken a dent.

Will Brooklyn be tempted to write a tell all or speak out, like Harry? Surely the Beckhams have their own skeletons, and you can bet the media will bait Brooklyn until he cracks.

Makes me feel somewhat better about my own dysfunctional family.

I feel for David though, his 50th will have been overshadowed by his son. Give, give, give and in return their first born cannot put differences aside to attend.

AIBU to think that parents who give their kids everything just end up creating entitled brats who are so detached from reality, add little to society and throw it all back in their poor parents faces. should there not be some kind of study, research or guidance on how to stop this happening. The world has enough problems.

@Brefugee not wished his dad a happy birthday or attended any of David's 50th birthday celebrations......

If that's it then there's plenty of reasons for that and in that case you're being OTT OP. Maybe he wished him happy birthday privately and there might be something really personal going on.

How do we know he didn't wish his dad Happy Birthday ?

what has Brooklyn Beckham done?

He tried as a footballer - failed miserably. He tried as a musician - failed spectacularly. He tried as a photographer - failed moderately. He tried as a chef and almost succeeded.

Not sure two very rich and privileged young men represent all of British families …

But yes. Sad when any families have estrangement.
